Telescope: Astro-Physics 175mm f/8 Starfire EDF with field flattener (f=1452mm)
Camera: Moravian G4-16000 with Baader filters
Binning: L 1x1
Mount: 10micron GM3000 HPS

Notes: This gif animation compares two luminance frames of LBN 7 with an exposure time of 6min, which were captured on two consecutive nights at the same altitude of 45°. Both nights were completely cloudless, but in the second night Calima (a hot, sand laden wind that blows in from the Northern Sahara) worsened the transparency.
